What do they see for me this week?

—Lady Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lady CK,

They give me three cards for you this week -- in the You position, they give me Muin, Harvest (Nightshade) well-dignified. This means you'll have a reason to celebrate this week and that something you've worked for will come to fruition.

For the Situation position, they give me Ruis, Regret (Black Walnut) ill-dignified, so that's usually a gentle warning to watch for a situation where regret will be a possibility, so be prepared to act according to your inner principles and not your worst instincts. Because it is in the Situation position, it may very well apply not to you but to someone else who is in your immediate life.

For the Lesson position, they give me Ioho or Grace (Yew) ill-dignified. This is a card of letting go and resting, so if it is ill-dignified, it is a gentle admonishment to afford yourself time to rest and to let go of what isn't meant for you.

Where I am.

Thank you for the reading last week! I was able to take your reading and ask my Ogham several yes-no questions, and I got a clear idea of what they want me to focus on next. I've switched gears and focused on that thing, and will do so till Beltienne and then evaluate. Thanks again!

Can you ask your Ogham what the gods think of what I'm doing with my life right now? Thank you.

Re: Where I am.

[kimberlysteele]

Thanks for your feedback! I am so glad they were able to give you some help.

The gods have an interesting set of remarks!

They gave me three cards, all well dignified on the question "What do the gods have to say to CS2 about her life right now?"

For the You position, they give you Quert, which means Delight (Apple). They are saying that you are well-balanced and that delight is in everything within and around you right now. They love the spirit of gratitude that you embody.

For the Situation position, they give you Duir, Gifts (White Oak) which also means Doorway. You are crossing over into their "land", so to speak, and they'll be using you to spread their gifts to those who need them. This one also says that as the recipient of gifts, your duty will be to pay them forward.

For the Karmic Lesson position, they give me Luis, Protection (Sugar Maple or Rowan) which is the presence of your Holy Guardian Angel. You are living what your HGA considers to be your truth.

Nice!

What's up, Ogham reading.

[(Anonymous)]

Good Morning,

Solarfed here, my first time here. Heard good things about your Ogham readings. May I receive one of your general, 'what's up this week', readings?

Many blessings to you.

Re: What's up, Ogham reading.

[kimberlysteele]

Welcome! This week looks fairly good for you.

For the You or most immediate position, you drew Gort, which means Bindweed or Ivy. It stands for Perseverance and is ill-dignified, meaning that you will have one of two forms of imbalance, a lack or a glut of Perseverance. Most likely, it means you'll suffer a financial or other resource hit this week and money will be tight, but it could also mean that you'll be too dominant in some respect and that your influence will act like a monocropped field, smothering others. At any rate, keep an eye out.

For the middle Situation position, or factors that affect you and people close to you, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. The tree for this is Elm. You or someone close to you will be able to transcend normal "stupid human tricks" pablum and take the high road. The view is always better from the high road!

For the Karmic Lesson or Outcome position, you drew Tinne or Defense (Eastern Cedar) well-dignified. This means you'll learn a lesson of resilience this week, either with you directly involved or as an observer. You'll be able to see why resilience is the best defense against adversity.

1. What's up this week?

2. I have believed I was working toward doing what I believed was my duty. Am I on the wrong path? If I am, what should I contemplate to help me find the right path?

3. I've felt there may be a potential for connection with Thor. I know nothing about any of this and am not sure I want to pursue it. Am I even right? Should I pursue it / would it be a terrible mistake to postpone that or not do it? (Not sure how best to word this question, will leave it up to you.)

Thanks so much for doing this!

[kimberlysteele]

This week looks a bit tough.

You drew Luis, which means Protection, ill-dignified for the You position. This means that you'll have trouble listening to your Holy Guardian Angel this week because of mixed signals. It also means that you are vulnerable, so take some basic hoodoo magic precautions such as a hoodoo bath or wearing a protective amulet this week just in case. Basically, you'll want to pray to the gods for a bit of extra protection this week and hoodoo magic is one form of communicating that to the Powers.

You drew Koad or Confluence, which is a Forfedha (Ogham's equivalent of a Tarot trump) and I don't read that as well- or ill-dignified. Koad is in the Situation position, so you will feel like you are caught in the middle of a perfect storm this week. This situation is a karmic lesson for you, so it will be an opportunity to look at what factors got you there. When the situation is presented to you this week, ask yourself what you could have changed and what was out of your control.

For the final Karmic Lesson position, you got Ailm, which means Transcendence. You won't be able to solve any of your major problems this week. Also look out for false transcendence, whether that is over investment in a guru or teacher or the feeling you've triumphed when the battle is not yet over.

As to your 2. question, they say Yes, you do need to alter your path. They give me Duir or Gifts (White Oak) well-dignified as a direct answer. Duir is a particularly holy tree and as it is the mightiest of the forest, I think already it is Thor sending you a message.

As to your question number 3., they also say Yes, you should reach out to Thor. They give me Ngetal, which is Goldenrod in my Ogham. Ngetal is saying that Thor's influence will help you to clean out some of the aspects of your psyche that have been holding on to junk. Thor wants to help you heal yourself. Remember that it's as simple as praying to Thor a little each day -- you don't have to go to elaborate lengths to worship him. No need to move to a Norwegian fjord cottage and wear a horned helmet all day. Maybe set up an altar and burn some pine or cedar incense (that seems like the kind of manly incense he would appreciate) or pour some kind of alcoholic libation for him every day is my thought and then say a short prayer.

Hi Kimberly,

Should I be telling others, especially those who have influence, about my design insights?

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say secrecy is your best option right now. They give me Beith, Beginnings (Birch) ill-dignified, which means your new ideas are good but you should keep them to yourself.

[tamanous2020]

Hi Kim,

In regards to your private library, would you prefer to have a list of books I have available to donate so you can you select which you'd like to have? Or are you ok with donor preselection?

Q- What's up this week?

Thanks,

Tamanous

[kimberlysteele]

Thanks for asking about the library, Tamanous! I will post about it soon -- almost posted this week but it just got way too busy with the kids' recitals. I would be delighted to receive any and all books you can spare. Please send them to:

Your week

[kimberlysteele]

It's a week of karmic culmination for you.

You drew a real rarity: three Forfedha. These are the Ogham equivalent of Tarot trumps; I don't read them well- or ill-dignified.

For the You position, you got Uilleand or Generosity (Trumpet Vine). You will embody generosity this week and for this, and this may involve a sacrifice. You can expect to be rewarded seven times over for your largesse. How these rewards will come to you is anybody's guess.

For the Situation position, you got Koad or Confluence (Grove). This means a situation that occurs this week will demonstrate a potent karmic lesson. It's an opportunity to look at what you could or could not change about the outcome that plays out.

For the final position, the Outcome, you drew Oir or Epiphany (Milkweed). You will have an "a-ha" moment this week.

An Ogham reading please

[(Anonymous)]

This is my first time here and would like to try a reading.

Re: An Ogham reading please

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham give me three cards for you this week.

The first is the most immediate, what I call the "You" position. For this one you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified, which means one of two imbalances. Either you'll fall short of the expectations of your community this week (this often indicates acquaintance-level people, such as co-workers or friends you don't invite into your inner circle) or they'll depend too much upon you.

For the Situation position, which means outside forces including those that affect people in your inner circle, you drew Ioho (Yew) or Grace ill-dignified. This indicates one of two imbalances: either being too active or not letting go of something not meant to be this week, or the opposite, giving up too easily. It can also speak of a too-frenetic pace and not slowing down enough to enjoy your life, in other words, it may be saying you need to prioritize rest.

For the final position, the Karmic Lesson, you drew Gort well-dignified. This means your material resources won't be strained this week and that you'll have the energy to deal with what comes your way. It will be worth assessing how much material wealth is actually enough versus what your perceptions of "enough" happen to be.

What' up?

[jpc2]

Hi Kimberly,

How about a 'What's up' reading?

John - Coop Janitor

Re: What' up?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi John,

For your week, you drew:

In the You position, you have Ailm or Elm which means Transcendence. This is ill-dignified. You'll want to transcend a situation that you cannot this week. Beware of a false sense of it being over when that simply isn't the case.

For the Situation position, you drew Straif (Honey Locust) which means Strife. It is ill-dignified. You'll feel pressure to be what you are not this week or to act in a way that is against your will. Stay strong.

For the Outcome or Lesson, you drew Oir, which means Epiphany and is not a card I read well- or ill-dignified (I consider the suit it is in to be too complex to be read as "imbalanced". You'll have a big realization this week and in it will be contained an important lesson about life.

Hey Kim,
Thanks for doing these! My question is: Should I take up the Celtic Golden Dawn?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say it's not quite right. They give me Tinne or Eastern Cedar which means Defense, ill-dignified.

FYI, a few years ago, I was also considering the Celtic Golden Dawn. I ended up going the Druid Magic Handbook route because it suited me better. It isn't quite as formal as CGD.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

How are things looking this week? Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

This week, for the most immediate You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. This means you will be community-minded this week and will find yourself valued by your community as well as understanding how important they are to you.

For the Situation position, you drew Quert (Apple) or Delight. You'll have reason to be delighted this week and you'll have the opportunity to take joy in doing your own thing. Quert is a tree of gratitude, so make sure to express gratitude when the opportunity comes your way.

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos (Beech) or Teaching. Your karmic lesson this week is to examine an area where you have massive expertise. This isn't necessarily an academic field. This could mean certain forms of social intelligence or just knowing yourself or someone else extremely well.

[mollari]

Hi Kimberly,

a) Last week's reading was spot on once more, so I'd like to ask what's up this week?

b) I think I found an apartment for July 1 in Gatineau. $550 per month, 1 bedroom, in a decent looking building in a good looking neighbourhood, right on a bus line. What will happen if I take this apartment?

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, an apartment for $550 a month?! As someone from Ontario, I'm in shock!

House

[(Anonymous)]

Will I find my dream house in the area I want to stay in? Will it be before fall?

Re: House

[kimberlysteele]

They say Yes, you will get the dream house you want in the area you want, but No, it won't happen before this fall. They give me Gort or Perseverance well-dignified for the first question, which means you'll get what you want if you hold out, but No, Fearn ill-dignified, you will have to wait beyond fall of 2021.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Which job should I take? I have to choose between a historical site and a nature centre. Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi, they vote for the nature center. They give me Oir which means Epiphany. Of course they're voting for the nature center though, the Ogham are a bunch of trees after all...

Defenestrating the bizarre chairman

[(Anonymous)]

Helo Kimberly,
Are the Regional Chairman and his second in charge going to be forced to step down from their current positions? Are the stevedors union going to strike or take strong measures to defenestrate both of them?
Edu

Re: Defenestrating the bizarre chairman

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Edu,

My Ogham say Yes, the Regional Chairman and his second will be forced to step down. They give me Ngetal, or Hygiene, ill-dignified which is to say something about the two of them is unclean. Maybe someone important has "dirt" on them.

For the second question, will the stevedore's union take strong measures to defenestrate them, my Ogham say No, they will not. They give me Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified, which is to say the stevedores may end up doing a strike but it won't be entirely because of the Regional Chairman if they do.

Him again

[(Anonymous)]

Is he just stringing me along.... keeping me on the back burner? I’m guessing he liked me initially...... does he still like me?

Re: Him again

[kimberlysteele]

Hi, my Ogham sadly say Yes, he is stringing you along. They give me Beith, or Beginnings (Birch). He genuinely likes you but he is too flighty and likes beginnings in general: with you and with others.

This week

[(Anonymous)]

Hey Ho Kimberly.

What’s up for me this week?

Thanks.

Do you still need SoP for being Hag ridden? I’m been doing it for a few weeks and I am most certainly up for more!

Annette

Re: This week

[kimberlysteele]

That is so incredibly kind! Thank you! I think the Hag has been utterly driven off. Between your SoP (Sphere of Protection for those reading this, it's a daily banishing ritual) the prayers of our community, and the geometric I have at my bedside, my dreams have been delightfully pedestrian and non-threatening.
